Hi Mark, how will i change the "red X" in the Title bar of LOGIN to a different icon such as a "yellow key", something like that?_________________"If you have knowledge, let others light their candles in it."

Hi Mark, can you create a script of your login manager that will automatically mount a share or network folder in win2000 PDC? And by changing the default user (root) in minixdm & minixdmpasswd file with the ones being used by a certain user to authenticate themselves with the windows fileserver.
I told my friend to change her pirated windows98 to puppy 1.0.4 linux. Would that be cool? is this possible with puppy?

The only trouble I'm having is, I can hit "ok" or "cancel" anytime and get in (regardless of username or password). I'm using ICEWM if that makes a difference.

One question also. Is there anyway to lanch this during a session? I'd like to be able to get things running and then "lock the workstation" (like in xp pro, when you hit the winkey+L). I tried to run it from xterm and got this:

I think MU is right. If you want to keep your colleagues from snooping, a login screen is appropriate. If absolute security is what you're after, remove the storage media from the computer. Fortunately, a solution presents itself: multisession Puppy.

Hi Mark! Is there a way you can modify your script to accomodate a variable for username & password?
something like $USER and $PASS to be later on be used by SMBMOUNT command inserted into your XDM script. I wish you can make a xdmusers.lst to verify valid users. Modify minixdmpasswd to be used with multiple password like /etc/passwd

On this shell, Environment Vars can be set like:

LOGNAME=your_value_here

Custom vars are set like:

CUSTOM_VAR=your_value_here

When I turn a normal Window Fullscreen, it is covered by opened Toolbars.
Example is the "blank screen" in the new PuppyBasic-Screensaver.
My Tools like Expose or wxIconbar cover it, so everybody can access the computer by using these programs.

The wxBasic-Solution uses itself a Gtk-Toolbar, simply maximized to the screenwidth and Height (this is different to setting a normal window fullscreen).
This solution covers everything.

Such toolwindows are usually taken to display menues or Bitmap-buttons, but not to add Textentries. So Textentries are not fully functional.
For this reason I had to add the buttons, that can be used with the mouse.

I still plan to have a look at the "xlock" C-Program, but this might take some time.
That one would support the keyboard.
